Albert King - The Life Story of a Blues Legend | Blues Legend Series

In my Stevie Ray Vaughan video, I stated that I would be doing a blues series and my first video is about the blues legend Mr. Albert King. It was his music that started my fascination with the blues in the mid-'90s
Albert King is considered by most to be the king of the guitar. Now I know that doesn't sound right by saying the king of the guitar but I really don't know how else to explain it. I don't know anything about the guitar it all sounds good to me but he really was talented.
I gave a lot of information on his rise to the top in the music industry and a valuable lesson can be learned from his story. He was in his 40's before he became a household name. He never gave up he believed in his talent and he left this beautiful music for the world!!
Stay safe you guys!!!

God sent 3 Kings baring gifts.

[@jeffrowlette]

If funny....when I play Albert's music, I don't even think about his biggest hit (Born under a bad sign)...I'm playing stuff like "Little Brother (Make a way), "The very thought of you", and "I'll play the blues for you". Damn he was so good.....damn, just damn!

[@juliuscesar7126]

Alls i play os born under a bad sign. Over and over and over again i never get tired of it especially with srv version

[@jimmymurphy7789]

This is a beautiful Tribute & so well done - Thank You.

[@melvindillard274]

I love Albert King and I am also a Little Milton fan. Walking The Back Streets is not a Little Milton cover, it is in fact a Little Milton original song which happens to be one of my favorites. A lot of other people have since covered it including Albert King.

[@brandonpreatto6893]

ALBERT KING WAS THE BLUES!

[@leebowens2631]

I'll Play the blues for you was on every taverns juke box in 1972, this song was a smash hit .

[@HouseofNostalgia22]

So true

[@ericthered1140]

Legend

[@pughoneycutt1986]

The first time my 12 year old niece heard I'll play the blues for you, she looked at me and said I can smell the smoke and taste the alcohol. Don't forget Eddie King who played guitar for many years with Koko Taylor, and the reason that Riley B King had to become BB King was there was already an R B King playing the blues.

[@HouseofNostalgia22]

Thank you for letting me know

[@josephpashka7369]

The concert photo at 1:12 & later was taken at a WTTW Soundstage show in Chicago in 1982. Glad it has found a good use. Mr. King was such a wonderful man. I wish WTTW Soundstage would release that concert video . Thank You.

[@Zappasays]

I believe Many white artists covers albert king. King isnt the only one that was copied.
